"I don't want the faculty to be able to determine faculty matters. That's like leaving the department."

However, Cobb quickly added that the old tenure discipline policy is being revised to make it easier for the chancellor to place a negligent instructor on leave without pay status.
Cobb also said the new policy eased the process for an instructor to apply for an excuse from teaching duties if he had sound academic reasons.
Heagland said the handling of the Forer Incident made him want to make legislation giving complete tenure control to the Regents. He said he had heard of two cases where his doubts on keeping tenors at the universities.
He said such requests would have to be approved by the department or school. If an instructor taught to give notice, then he would be subject to discipline and possible firing.
Shankel said he thought the advantages of tenure greatly outweighed the disadvantages.
"There are times when we nice to have more flexibility," Shankel said. "But that is the only disadvantage I can see. We compare it with our teacher's gives us to instructor's freedoms the disadvantage is minor."
4 Groups seek more funds for expanding programs
By KAREN SCHLUETER Staff Reporter
Four student organizations presented proof of inflationary pressures or plans for expanded programs as justification for in-depth discussions at last night's Revenue Code hearings.
The four groups requesting increases were: Student Legal Services, University Theatre, Theatre Forensics. The Student Senate Finance and Auditing Committee heard their requests.
A fifth group, the Recreation Advisory committee but did not request an increase.
Student Legal Services, which now receives an activity fee, request an payment of $1.97
Steve Leeben, chairman of the Student Legal Services Board, said the increase was necessary to cover the cost of adding a part-time faculty and the service and to cover salary increases.
"You can't tell professional people they're
not going to get salary increases and expect to keep them," he said.
University Theatre presented two proposals to the committee. Under the first plan, the theatre proposed a 34-cent increase. It is now allocated 80 cents of the fee. The proposal was requested by bookstores for $87,000 a year for three years, adding 75 cents to the fee.
Ron Williams, head of the theatre division, said the $75,000 allocation would give University Theatre a "platform to stand on" while looking for additional funding.
KU Bands asked for a 51-cent increase in their fee allocation. This would give them an $18,649 increase over their current total allocation of $10,962.
Robert Foster, director of KU Bands, said that increases in the costs of instruments and instrument repair were responsible for the group's large increase request.
Zac Grant, president of KU Forensics, gave details of the "Spartan existence" of the forensics teams on tournament trips to support the group's request for a 4 cent fee allocation increase. Forensics is currently allocated 10 cents of the fee.
Law students' tuition battle lingers on for second year
By DBBBY FOSTER Staff Reporter
Law students' efforts to channel their tuition back into the school of Law are now at a standstill.
Law students' tutition, which was $55 higher than most other students' this semester, goes into doubt.

Law students began paying additional tuition in the mid-1960s in order to raise School of Law faculty salaries to a more competitive level nationally. According to a study conducted by the University of Pennsylvania, the top 25 percent in faculty salary rates and has now dropped to the lower half in the nation.
But the School of Law Improvements Committee, which is made up of law students, had tried for 18 months to get the extra money put into a separate account.
"We have no proof that the money is going back to the law school," Rosemary O'Leary, president of the Student Bar Association, said yesterday.
RALPH CRISTIOTOFFERSEN, vice chancellor for academic affairs, said the extra tuition money was for an increase in the law faculty's base salary rate. However, he said he did not think raising tuition to increase salaries was a good idea.
"Third-year law students will be making more a month after they graduate than some of the faculty members make now," O'Leary said.
A BILL proposed last year by former state Sense. Wint Winter Sr., R-Ottawa, and Arnold Berman, D-Lawrence, would have separated the law students' extra tuition from KU's general department, passed in the Senate but did not get out of the House committee before the session ended.
Leben said that the next time the Board of Regents considered raising fees, the committee would probably ask them to increase other students' tuition to that of law students'.
"What I think we need to do is go to the Legislature and ask for a base salary increase for the entire institution," he said.
"We interviewed representatives from Lawrence this year but they didn't express an interest in carrying the ball for us," O'Leary said.
Steve Leben, a member of the law student committee, said they would not try to lobby the Legislature again because they had lost its support from their constituents this year. The Ways and Means Committee this year.
The committee has put the tuition problem aside for awhile and is now considering other possibilities for getting money for the school.
Christofersen said he thought the problem centered around low base salaries.
"Our most promising idea at this point is to get more alumni contributions," David Seely, chairman of the committee, said.
